    My fault used RegSeeker without current image. Tried installing uninstalling etc. have added Firefox 64-bit alongside FF 32-bit have both now. FF 64 runs a little bit better than 32. But both are borked.

    Pages are fine then have to be redrawn. Typing is an ** nightmare. Cursor jumps letters take seconds to appear. Pressing space bar makes letters appear instantly.

    Any ideas?

    @zapjb I feel your pain o_O

    Your FireFox is messed up AND your typing in programs other than FireFox is messed up OR only your typing in FireFox ??

    Don't suppose you used the registry backup in RegSeeker before making changes to your registry?

    You're using Linux ?

    TY. ** up only in FF32&64. I deleted too soon so SOL RegSeeker backup. But I restored a Tweaking.com Windows Repair Backup. Now I'm manually searching for FF leftovers then I'll reinstall FF. Thank goodness for FF sync.

    I'm using Vivaldi atm. I'm just addicted to FF.

    RegSeeker has major issues with false positives. You should never use it unless you are prepared to manually check every error found and deselect any false positives.
